The Dublin Region Homeless Executive is provided by Dublin City Council as the lead local authority in the response to homelessness in Dublinand adopts a shared service approach across South Dublin County Council, Fingal County Council and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

Dublin’s homeless action plan framework was developed throughout 2013, by the Dublin Joint Homeless Consultative Forum and Statutory Management Group. It is informed by submissions from members of the public, from community and voluntary agencies alongside elected Dublin City and County representatives, and importantly, homeless service users themselves. It sets out the strategic aims and the thematic areas for core actions that are required to realise regional and national objectives. Detailed annual Business Plans with targets will be developed for 2014, 2015 and 2016. This plan will build on the considerable progress that has been made to date in responding to long-term homelessness and the need to sleep rough in the Dublin Region.
